In the September 2012 report by Forrester Research, Inc., entitled
"Application Control: An Essential Endpoint Security Component," authors
Chenxi Wang and Chris Sherman wrote of the need for a new approach to
security: "Attackers often penetrate user endpoints with new malware
that eludes the AV detection. As a result, security professionals must
consider a different approach, one that doesn’t rely solely on an
increasingly hard-to-manage signature blacklist. In its various forms,
application control delivers a much-needed value proposition for
endpoint protection."

Why application control is more effective than relying on a
blacklist-only approach such as antivirus.
